Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Dr. Tucker’s approach places an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it is often the most effective form of treatment, even in comparison to psychiatric medications.

According to the American Psychological Association, research shows that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life, and has demonstrated to be a powerful treatment option for a variety of disorders. This practice focuses on how one can skillfully change thoughts and actions to improve how they feel. Attacking and altering patterns and behavior, which are often unhealthy, can have a lasting impact on life.

The principles of CBT can be applied to most general psychological disorders, and the same way each patient is unique, so is their individualized treatment plan.
